The Parish of Assynt
'The road follows the course of the Unapool burn (travelling from Scourie, via Kylesku) to Loch Ganve, from which it strikes across the country to Loch Assynt. It enters Glen Skiag at a point 800 feet above the sea level, and a finer view of the Assynt mountains than from this point can hardly be wished for'. (Tourists' Guide, 1883, Hew Morrison)
